Home Depot sells headband LED lights for $10 for 3. Its the most useful and practical light i have so far Put it on your head and the light is always with you wherever you look, especially working under the car.

[@GrnXnham]

Better than nothing but I don't go cheap on lights. I don't trust a $3.33 light to be reliable. I'm really tough on lights. My lights get dropped, smacked around, or covered in toxic waste and keep on working. I don't think I have a work light that is under $50.

[@ilovebohol]

@@GrnXnham yes, i wouldn't mind buying the best tool for professional use either just as cheap tools like the headlamp LED has its own use, greasing the U-joint under the car would be somewhat overwhelming to use an expensive light considering it will be covered in grease and dirt. Cheap lights has its uses, i put one in the glovebox, one in the garage and one in the basement. I guess im too cheap 😁

The best light I've bought is the LED under-bonnet light. Fits just about any car bonnet/hood, lasts 3-4hrs on a full charge, isn't blindingly bright, and it can be unclipped for use under the car. Gives a great even spread for engine work.

[@foxtrot35]

I was at a wedding last weekend and the photographer was using one of those lights. I thought, man, that's bright, it would make a great work light...low and behold, Scotty sealed the deal on me getting one.

Thanks again Scotty. Best work light I've found was buried in the snow at a curb, It had obvious been run over several times given all the marks and scratches on it. Who knows how long it was sitting there but it charged right up and gives off an incredible amount of light. It has a strong magnet to stick on any metal surface and looks to be indestructible and maybe waterproof. Small enough to fit in your pocket. It's called the Cyclops and runs about $20.00 online. Now let's talk lighting for your garage. Take care!
